Graffiti Artist and innovator/icon RISK has announced his new partnership with Kevin Zinger and Ivory Daniel from Regime Management, and local entrepreneurs/philanthropists Howard Spunt and Bryan Spunt, for the grand opening of the Buckshot Art Gallery in Santa Monica. The art gallery will feature a mixture of urban and fine art, and is set to have its first exhibition on October 17th, 2015. In the conjunction with the launch of the gallery, Buckshot has also launched an online E-Commerce site to sell prints and original works of art online at www.BuckShotPrints.com.
Kelly Graval, the multi-talented Fine Artist, Illustrator, and Graffiti artist known as RISK, has been synonymous with the Los Angeles art community for decades. With a career spanning 30 years, RISK has solidified his place in the history books as a world-renowned graffiti legend. He has come a long way since he pioneered the painting of freeway overpasses, signs and billboards, dubbed "heavens." Although RISK loves aerosol art, he sees it as merely just one genre in his life's work. From his days as a student at the USC School of Fine Arts togallery and museum showings around the world; RISK has transformed from a street artist to a respected icon in the contemporary art world.
RISK recently released a 350 page retrospective book "Old Habits Die Hard" via Detroit based publisher 1xRUN. The book was put together with the help of prolific writer and curator Roger Gastman, who worked with RISK to recount a career spanning over four decades and detail his history, failures, success and of course the many brushes with the law.
